Anti-Comintern Pact

The Anti-Comintern Pact was an anti-communist pact signed chiefly by Nazi Germany and Japan on 25 November 1936; Hungary, Italy, Manchukuo, Spain, Finland, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Slovakia, the Reorganized National Government of China, and Turkey also agreed to the pact. Italy's junction of the pact on 6 November 1937 led to the formation of the Axis Powers in opposition to the Soviet Union's expansion, and the pact would be one of the causes of World War II.
